THE  present  collection  of  contemporary  Spanish 
paintings  has  been  gathered  in  Madrid,  by 
authority  of  the  Art  Institute  of  Chicago,  by  Miss 
Ethel  L.  Coe,  a  student  and  teacher  of  the  Art  In- 
stitute, who  was  invited  by  Sorolla  to  visit  Madrid 
to  study  with  him. 

In  making  up  the  collection  she  has  had  the  co- 
operation not  only  of  Sorolla,  but  of  Sehor  Don 
Manuel  B.  Cossio,  the  author  of  "El  Greco,"  of 
Sehor  Don  Jose  Castillejo  y  Duarte,  and  of  Sehor 
Don  Jose  Garnelo  y  Alda. 

The  collection  may  be  considered  a  fair  represen- 
tation, though  far  from  exhaustive,  of  present  day 
painting  in  Spain. 

The  following  remarks  on  the  paintings  and 
painters  are  made  up  from  Miss  Coe's  notes.

JOAQUIN  SOROLLA 


CONTEMPORARY  PAINTING  IN  SPAIN 


HEN  one  considers  Spanish  painting  of  the 


▼  ▼  present  day,  two  names  immediately  present 
themselves,  those  of  Sorolla  and  Zuloaga.  Both  have 
exhibited  widely  in  America,  and  both  are  acknowl- 
edged masters  of  their  art.  They  stand,  however, 
at  opposite  extremes  in  their  view  of  life  and  of  art. 
Their  points  of  view  are  widely  separated;  extreme, 
but  not  unreasonable.  They  are  alike  vigorous  and 
sane,  alike  free  from  the  theatrical,  the  morbid  and 
the  mediocre.  The  Spaniards  themselves  declare 
that  Zuloaga  more  truly  interprets  the  spirit  of  the 
Spanish  race.  It  may  be  said  that  Sorolla,  with  his 
glory  of  sunlight  and  wind-filled  sails,  his  charming 
bare  babies  in  the  sand,  and  the  joy  of  nature  over 
all,  is  the  international  painter  of  Spain.  Anyone  in 
the  world  can  find  pleasure  in  his  beautiful  represen- 
tations of  these  great,  common  wonders  of  the  phys- 
ical world,  the  same  sun  and  the  same  wind  and 
clouds  that  we  all  have  known,  painted  with  a  force, 
and  convincing  familiarity,  and  mastery  of  the  sub- 
ject, that  bring  back  the  thrill  of  the  reality. 

Zuloaga,  with  his  intensely  Spanish  analysis  and 
delineation  of  character,  may  be  said  to  be  the  na- 
tional painter  of  Spain,  the  painter  of  the  soul  of  the 
complex  Spanish  race;  not  the  race  which  the  tourist 
meets,  with  its  surface  coating  of  cosmopolitanism, 


5 


but  the  unglazed  pottery  of  the  people  of  the  land 
itself,  who  take  their  color  from  the  particular  pro- 
vencia  and  pueblo,  as  surely  as  their  tiled  roofs  do 
from  the  clay  of  the  neighboring  hill. 

Zuloaga  is  the  painter  of  Spain,  and  for  Spain; 
Sorolla  for  the  world  at  large.  Really  to  appreciate 
the  former,  one  must  be  Spanish.  Even  to  approach 
an  understanding  of  him,  one  must  at  least  have  seen 
the  country  in  its  byways,  where  the  national  spirit 
is  still  in  the  middle  ages,  untouched  by  the  modern 
spirit.  But  the  man  from  the  other  side  of  the  world 
can  sympathize  with  Sorolla,  and  appreciate  his 
message. 

This  distinction,  derogatory  to  neither  artist,  is 
necessary  when  we  attempt  to  trace  the  influence  of 
these  two  men  upon  the  younger  painters  of  Spain, 
and  not  of  Spain  only,  but  of  Europe  and  America. 

Spain  is  full  of  imitators  of  these  two  men,  par- 
ticularly students  of  the  English-speaking  race. 
When  they  try  to  follow  Sorolla,  the  results  are  not 
necessarily  bad,  for  though  they  fall  far  short  of  his 
technical  skill,  the  subjects  of  their  labors  are  less 
foreign  to  their  own  natures.  But  when  they  follow 
Zuloaga,  the  result  is  little  better  than  a  travesty; 
for  to  interpret  the  soul  of  a  race,  it  is  necessary  to  be 
of  it.  The  foreign  students  merely  copy,  from  a  great 
distance,  the  peculiarities  and  idiosyncrasies  of  his 
handling  of  paint,  the  outer  surface,  not  the  inner 
spirit. 

In  the  case  of  the  Spanish  student,  the  influence 
6 


exerted  by  these  two  men,  particularly  Zuloaga,  does 
not  make  of  him  an  imitator;  for  there  is  in  both  the 
master  and  the  younger  brother  a  background  of 
similar  blood,  a  bond  of  race;  and  in  each  the  strain 
of  mysticism  and  fanaticism  which  have  been  com- 
mon factors  in  the  make-up  of  the  race.  These  weird- 
nesses  and  peculiarities  are  not  the  result  of  thought- 
less copying,  nor  of  an  attempt  to  pose,  but  are  the 
outgrowth  of  a  peculiar  national  bent. 

The  extremely  modern  character  of  the  present 
exhibition,  made  up  wholly  of  works  of  living  artists 
(with  the  exception  of  Beruete,  who  died  a  few 
months  ago),  is  the  occasion  of  the  discussion  of  these 
two  strong  influences.  But  the  modern  Spanish 
school,  long  before  these  men,  had  grown  up  under 
the  influence  of  the  famous  masters  of  the  Prado, 
and  of  the  great  group  of  classical  painters  of  the 
last  century. 

The  painters  represented  may  conveniently  be 
divided  into  groups  in  chronological  order,  not  ac- 
cording to  the  dates  of  their  births  but  to  the  time 
of  their  asserting  themselves  in  the  world  of  art. 

Of  the  earliest  group,  those  belonging  to  the  ten 
years  between  1880  and  1890,  we  have  four  repre- 
sentatives: Villegas,  the  Director  of  the  Prado; 
Muhoz  Degrain,  Director  of  the  Academia  de  Bellas 
Artes;  Jaime  Morera,  and  Aureliano  de  Beruete. 
Aside  from  the  excellence  of  their  painting,  they  are 
interesting  because  so  many  of  the  other  men  have 
studied  with  them.    Sorolla  was  a  pupil  of  Beruete. 


7 


In  a  large  sense  it  may  be  said  that  the  rest  of 
Spanish  painting,  including  the  present  exhibition, 
is  the  production  of  the  group  to  which  these  men 
belonged. 

As  a  whole,  these  men  are  characterized  by  a 
great  respect  for  the  academic  qualities:  by  excellent 
draughtsmanship,  values,  and  composition.  They 
are  sober  and  dignified  in  their  realism,  and  consider 
of  great  importance  the  literary  side  of  art,  the  story- 
telling quality.  And  their  story  is  almost  always 
tragic,  a  tale  of  battle,  murder,  and  sudden  death. 
They  display  also  a  strong  predilection  for  historical 
subjects.  The  examples  of  the  work  of  these  men 
included  in  the  exhibition  do  not,  however,  illustrate 
these  points,  representing,  as  they  do,  rather  the 
latest  phase  of  their  artistic  career  than  their  career 
as  a  whole. 

The  next  group,  whose  prominence  began  in  the 
interval  between  1890  and  1900,  is  represented  by 
Sorolla,  Bilbao,  Garnelo,  Pla,  Simonet,  Abades,  and 
Menendez  Pidal.  Their  earlier  paintings  were  char- 
acterized by  the  same  qualities  as  those  of  the  earlier 
group.  From  these  qualities  they  have  more  or  less 
broken  away,  led  by  their  daring  brother  Sorolla,  to 
consider  effects  of  light  and  air,  and  the  happier, 
sunnier  side  of  life,  the  ordinary  theme,  rather  than 
the  historic  and  grandiose. 

Immediately  following  came  Zuloaga;  and  then, 
between  1905  and  1910,  another  group  including 
Domingo,   Mezquita,   Benedito,   Chicharro,  Soto- 

8 


mayor,  Najera,  Raurich,  Llorens,  Alcala  Galiano, 
Bermejo,  Labrada,  and  Ferrandiz.  Many  of  them 
have  been  pupils  of  Sorolla.  Chicharro,  who  has 
just  been  appointed  head  of  the  Spanish  Academy  in 
Rome,  was  a  special  student  of  his.  The  work  of 
this  last  painter  is  interesting,  because  it  discloses  a 
certain  kinship  with  Zuloaga,  although  he  was  a 
student  of  Sorolla. 

Then,  from  1910  to  the  present  time,  come  the 
two  Zubiaurres,  Hermoso  Martinez,  the  two  brothers 
Romero  de  Torres,  and  Nieto.  They  have  left  the 
literary  picture,  the  somber  reality  of  the  earlier 
men,  and  the  cheerful  impressionism  and  happy 
reality  of  Sorolla's  group,  and  are  working  accord- 
ing to  their  own  peculiar  bent,  making  reality  sub- 
servient to  their  ideas  and  ideals  of  beauty. 

The  present  collection,  although  made  up  of  the 
works  of  artists  distinguished  in  their  own  country, 
can  by  no  means  claim  to  represent  all  the  noted 
painters  of  Spain.

C|  As  a  temporary  home  for  the  Art  Students 
Philadelphia  has  unique  advantages.  Known  as 
the  "  City  of  Homes,"  it  affords  good  living  at  a 
lower  cost  than  is  possible  in  any  other  large  city 
in  the  East. 

*jf  In  historical  interest  it  is  rich,  and  its  suburbs, 
easy  of  access,  offer  unusual  chance  for  out-of-door 
work.  Opportunities  for  general  culture  are 
varied  and  the  Academy  is  fortunately  able  to 
secure  special  rates  for  its  students  to  many  of  the 
lectures  and  concerts  given  each  season. 
€|  The  Academy  itself  is  centrally  located  and 
within  short  walking  distance  from  it  are  good 
boarding-places.  The  two  principal  railroad 
stations  are  each  within  five  minutes*  walk, 
(f  Recognizing  that  a  comfortable  living  place  is 
an  aid  to  serious  study  the  management  invites 
correspondence  with  students  from  a  distance  and 
offers  freely  its  information  and  its  aid.
